Charts and Graphs for unity3d [Released]

Thank you for notifying me about this . It is fixed for the next version that will hit the store soon.

 

@ProSourceLabs Is there any built in compatibility with TextMeshPro?

Edit: Nevermind, I found the .unitypackage

 

Yes. Have a look at the following article :

• TextMeshPro Installation

 

Hey

I want to make a slider like this that selects a speficic bar in the bar chart (as oopsed to the mouse/gaze ) selector. how do i do that?

 

I have answered you on email a few days ago. If you did not revecive the answer try to contact me again. I am attaching it here as well :

Hello there,


Following you post on the forum , I saw the image. And indeed , you can use the article as a reference to doing that.


This requires implementing a custom selection functionality.


Basically you can go about it like this :


Go to the bar prefab and set both the hover and leave events to no function.


Now follow exactly the article I have posted . Just instead of rotating the bar , you can call :


http://bitsplash.io/docs/interestin...t/how-to-rotate-a-single-bar-in-the-bar-chart



GetComponent<ChartItemGrowEffect>().Grow();

GetComponent<ChartItemGrowEffect>().Shrink();

These will select and deselect the bar.



Let me know if you need any further assistance.


Happy to Help

 

Hello,

I want to make a sure before buying this asset.
Is it possible to save data in the graph as a file? and after saving the data, later show this data in the graph again?

I need to save a data by date. And I have to present this data in the graph again when I need to present.

 

what are LWRP AND HDRP?
what is the difference between them?

There is not any Render Pipeline shown in the documentation in my Unity Editor.

 

These are both unity render pipelines that graph and chart support. You have to set up your project for these. It is also not mandatory to use. Most people who need this feature already know it.
You will only see this setting if you have set your project to HDRP and LWRP from the first place. Take a look at the following tutorial :
https://blogs.unity3d.com/2018/09/2...r-pipeline-getting-started-guide-for-artists/

 

Version 1.73 will contain a GraphFileManager that loads and unloads graph data from file.

 

My question about streaming graph.
Do you know how to change the time in the horizontal axis?
It always keeps same value which is 12:00 AM. U am going to change it to real time.

 

Question about "GRAPH CHART"

When I check "Is Bezier Curve" to true in the Inspector, it does not work. When I check it to false, it works linear.

 

Hi there,

It easier to contact support@bitsplash.io
Regarding your questions. if you are showing non time values choose the number format for the axis. If you are showing time values , make sure to use the appropriate overloads , or to specify the time in Unix time.

secondly , the beizeir curver is filled with it's own methods , allowing you to add control points. check out the documentation about this topic : http://bitsplash.io/docs/graph-chart/making-curves

 

We use a system in which we have a camera group of 4 different MainCamera objects which represent a customised renderpileline.
And we have way to switch between dynamically.

The problem arises with the 3D Text, I've tried to manually update TextCamera to a WorldChart to the current MainCamera, but the billboard canvases are still only visible to the previous one.

So for a WorldSpaceChart( WorldSpaceBarChart in this case).
*How/where can I update all the generated billboarded labels to find the correct camera target?
*Or how purge and rebuild everything visually when I have the correct MainCamera enabled?

The chart is a component in a prefab.

 

Hi there , please contact me on support@bitsplash.io if you change the TextCamera on script it should make the text billboard to that camera. Please give as much detail as possible on the way your scene and script are set up. Thanks.

 

can we change maxBarValue dynamically in the run time?
For example, I don't know the maximum size of the Bar chart.
I am going to set in the run time based on receiving data from Server side.

 

You can set it like this :

BarChart chart;
chart.DataSource.AutomaticMaxValue = false;
chart.DataSource.MaxValue = < value>;

 

Hello,
we have a problem with deep nested Prefabs (3-4 levels)...
for eg, i try to display and override a nested prefab with the pie chart but it throws an "ArgumentException: UnpackPrefabInstance must be called with a root Prefab instance GameObject"
i ques, this occurs because the editor script "#if UNITY_EDITOR -> public static void SafeDestroy(GameObject obj)" in ChartCommon.cs try to unpack the prefab and delete the data/entry gameobjects in the deeper nested prefab. But in unity it is not possible to delete items from a deeper nested Prefab.

Do you have any idea or solution?
thank you in advance XD

 

Hi there,

There have been fixes relating to this issue in newer version of Graph and Chart. Make sure to download the newest version. If you continue to experiance the issue , please contact me at support@bitsplash.io

 

Hello there!
I'd like to change the axis Units Per Division from script - can I do this? I tried but it seemed to be readonly...
I tried like this:
ChartMainDivisionInfo dInfo = hAxis.MainDivisions;
dInfo.UnitsPerDivision = 10f;
hAxis.MainDivisions = dInfo;
(if there's an example that does this happy for you to point me there) Thanks!

 

I am going to make this streaming graph by using your asset in unity.




There are three axis in the graph chart. x,y and y' axis.
x and y is for Line1
x and y' us for Line2

Problem: how to set a single axis for both lines?
x axis is for bot line1 and line2 . and x axis defines time (h,m,s) because it is streaming graph.
Can you guide me how to create this?

Thank You.

 

You should not assign hAxis.MainDivisions. without this line your code should work. Make sure the meassure is set to data units as well.

I also want to get the answer to the question the same as @unussystems.
How to set a single axis for both lines?
Send an email to 'smartpro0802@gmail.com'.
I am eagerly waiting for you to reply.

 

Hi,

Do you have an idea for the best way to scale your graphs in only one direction? We have a 2D graph area with very long graphs, which our users needs to be able to zoom in and out of on the fly. Using Unity's own scale sortof works, but it makes your graphs look squished. So we attempted to scale it using the WidthRatio parameter instead, which worked surprisingly well except it creates a lot of lag when done frequently in runtime (I assume it needs to redraw every time you touch it? Which when done several times a second for a smooth look, slows down performance a lot). Is there a better way?

Due to the strictness of the project I'm working on, I'm using an older version of Graph and Charts. If this is something that has been optimised lately, I can use that as an argument for finally bringing in a updated one.

 

Answered in email

 

Hello,
Thank you for the previous answer.
It was very helpful.

I have another question.
I want to change the format of the vertical axis.
For example, I want to say "86.0" but it automatically comes up as "86".
My Fraction Digits is 1, but if it is "* .0" in the Vertical Axis, the chart deletes this part.
Even if I set the Fraction Digits to 1, I get two decimal places like "*. **" in the Vertical Axis.
I want all values of the Vertical Axis to be the same number of digits.

Thanks for your help.

 

go to the file : ChartAdancedSettings.cs

Change the # to 0 in the following section :
private static string[] FractionDigits = new string[]
{
"{0:0}",
"{0:0.#}",
"{0:0.##}",
"{0:0.###}",
"{0:0.####}",
"{0:0.#####}",
"{0:0.######}",
"{0:0.#######}",
};

 

how to set only x scalling? the 'graph zoom' script is set both x and y scalling.

 

You can comment out the part setting the y positions. I'll add this for the next version as a checkbox. I've sent you an email showing how

 

Hi I want to ask, can these assets be connected to the database?

 

The asset can be scripted , so it can be connected with pretty much anything if you write a script for it. An example for how you can use Graph and Chart with ADO.NET can be found here :
(use case sample section in the articles)
http://bitsplash.io/docs/graph-chart/filling-the-graph-chart-with-data
http://bitsplash.io/docs/bar-chart/filling-the-bar-chart-with-data-coming-soon

 

Thank you for answering the previous question.

I would like to change the text in the Axis section of the chart.
I want to change the Axis part of the chart to TextMesh Pro so that the letters can be seen better.
I also want to add a Glow effect to the border of 2D charts like Bar Chart so that it shines like a halo.

How do i do these two things?
Thank you in advance for your help.

 

if you go to the axis component inspector you can see a text prefab option. You can assign any prefab you wish. To learn how to use TextMeshPro see this TextMeshPro Installation.

Regarding the glow effect. You can fit the bar chart to it's containing rect transform. Then you can any UI graphic/image in the same container. This graphic can create a halo effect for example.

If you need any further assistance , contact me on support@bitsplash.io

 

For a linear graph with 1024 data points, is it more efficient to clear the category, startBatch, AddPointToCategory 1024 times with the updated values, endBatch OR to select each point in the graph and update the y value? I tried the update value idea but I'm doing something wrong:

Code (CSharp):

1. graphData.DataSource.ClearCategory("data");
2.                     graphData.DataSource.StartBatch();
3.                     for (int i = 0; i < selection.Length - 1; i++)
4.                     {
5.                         DoubleVector3 point = graphData.DataSource.GetPoint("data", i);
6.                         string valueString = selection[i].ToString();
7.                         double fix = double.Parse(valueString);
8.                         point.Set(point.x, fix, point.z);
9.                     }
10.                     graphData.DataSource.EndBatch();

 

Please contact me at support@bitsplash.io and elaborate on your use case. How often should points be updates ?

 

When using:
ChainChart.DataSource.AddCategory(ChainCategory);
AddCategory shows error with only one parameter. If I add the other parameter of Material then the Material shows an error too.

I am trying to implement:

Code (CSharp):

1. Material categoryMaterial;
2. Color hoverColor,selectedColor;
3. var bar = GetComponent<BarChart>();
4. bar.DataSource.AddCategory("newCategory",new ChartDynamicMaterial(categoryMaterial,hoverColor,selectedColor))

The 3 chartdynamicmaterial parameters show red underline error status like they are incorrect.
I have no categories in the inspector so I have to get the materials and colors from somewhere but not sure where. I have not dealt with these before.

Solved: I made the material and colors public, remarked out the AddCategory to get the script to compile. Then unmarked the line and things work.

 

I have a bar chart of 10 bars. Each bar prints a zero and the bottom. How do I clear that. I only want the bar amount at the top which I have.

Please contact me via support@bitsplash.io ill explain how to set custom string values to bars

 

Hey is there a way to change line segment color based on the graphed point data? For example the line segment between two points would turn red at high values and turn blue at low values? Maybe even have the line color interpolate between two point colors. Or even to set the fill color for each segment would be cool too.

 

Hi there , unfortunatly vertex colors are not yet supported . If you have any questions feel free to contact me at support@bitsplash.io

 

------------
Is the 3D graph streamable in the version 1.88?

 

Not yet. A streamable 3D graph chart will be available in an extension package sometime soon.

 

Can this do bar graphs in 3D with multiple colors/sections in a single bar like this?

 

You can do stacked bar charts in 3d. Feel free to email me to support@bitsplash.io for more clarifucations.

 

Is there any way to stop the graphs clipping at the highest point? I have the same issue at the left-right extremities - I'd like the point circle to be shown in full:

 

Seeing a bunch of errors when I click on a graph in Editor:



I'm using v1.88 on Unity 2019.2.20f1

Update: not seeing this when I import into a fresh project. It may be a consequence of using assembly definitions.

 

Yes, it seems adding assembly definition files fixed that. I was seeing this:



I guess that's because RenameWindow is now in a different assembly. I made it public and that went away.

 

Hello there.

It is best to contact me on support@bitsplash.io. I'll explain more about the clipping , and project import.

 

Rightho - will do. Thanks!

 

Hello!
Maybe it's been already answered, if it's the case: sorry I didn't find the answer...
I'm using bar charts in a Hololens app with MRTK and I can't find how to activate hovering and clicking on the bars.
Before adding MRTK to my app hovering was active but a little "shifted" since we couldn't know where the pointer was. My new project (with MRTK) now has a pointer but it doesn't trigger the hover animation on the bars. I haven't spend much time on bars click function yet but I guess that since hovering is not functional, clicking won't be either.
Could you please help me?
